Here is a quote from Owen Taylor on the gtk-devel list -
"GDK required [a] large subset of what the X api provides -
arcs, polygons, stipples, fills, etc. A lot more than what GGI or
SDL provide by themselves.
And it requires windowing capabilities.
The linux frambuffer port uses code from the X mi layer to do the
drawing primitives, and it has its own simple windowing
implementation."
and from another email
"GDK has 'almost no' functionality other than acting as a
portabillity layer across different windowing systems and
presenting a nice OO API..."
